Tawana Ricks

Tawana  D. Ricks a native of Wilmington, Delaware was born on Valentine’s Day Bishop Tyson E. and Apostle Patricia C. Williams.  She was educated in the New Castle County school districts and completed her formal education at Newark High School. Pastor Tawana attended Virginia Union University and Wilmington College  on an athletic scholarship. She also completed her degree program in Early Childhood Education from Ashworth College and graduated from the Glorious Full Gospel Bible Institute in 2006 earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies.
Tawana has been the wife of Pastor Chaun Ricks for the 24 loving years. Together they are the proud parents of 4 children and 2 grandchildren.

Pastor Tawana was raised in the church and was singing by the time she could talk.  With her younger sister Theresa “Treety” Williams and Tawana would display their gifts by singing duets at St. Paul’s UAME Church in Wilmington.  Her love for the singing ministry grew as she actively participated in various local and national groups and choirs including the Gospel Vessels, Minster Walter Brown & Praise, and Linda Henry and the Daughters of Faith. Ministering to large crowds at the Bobby Jones Show and the Gospel Music Workshop of America helped to prepare Tawana for the call that God was placing on her life……a call to evangelize to the masses about a God that can heal  and deliver.

 

 

As her ministry gifts grew and her knowledge of the word of God increased. Evangelist Ricks was ordained as an Elder in The Glorious Full Gospel Tabernacle Center under the leadership of her parents. She was set in the Office of Youth Pastor  along with her husband where they served  for nine years.

In 2003 Elder Tawana Ricks, was ordained into the office of Pastor and served as the Assistant Pastor of the Glorious Full Gospel Tabernacle Center.

Elder Ricks and her husband launched out in 2009 to develop their personal ministry while assisting other local churches.

In April 2017, Pastor Tawana and Pastor Chaun was chosen and installed as the pastors of The Glorious Full Gospel Tabernacle Center affectionally known as The Glorious Church.
